Got the game. First multiplayer game, someone said "leave me alone for a minute, I'm gonna "deal" with something." 20 minutes later the Academy's home system disappears in hellfire.
The best thing about Horatio is that the leader of Horatio is a clone of Horatio that killed Horatio and Usurped him without anyone knowing that it happened.
@@angelangelis8362 Tbh I think it's at that point where the previous and current leader is essentially the same person in both mannerisms and habit. So in a sense it never happened.
@@chuckles3116 Same, interesting mechanic in theory, but did horribly. They could have taken the academy in many different directions, a personal favorite as a galactic meeting ground. Once 3 or more races meet the academy, they propose it as a meeting ground for these different empires. You. could also make deals with them through backroom channels, for example, give them money, resources for more political power, away in galactic policy, or advanced tech.
It will never cease to amaze me how this man can string together several minutes of stupid jokes and simultaneously produce some of the best, most in-depth and genuine reviews out there.
I rewatch this again after bought this game yesterday and watch whole 3 hrs new player guide video and this one is much more understandable and practical.
Horatio has learned of an assassination plot against former system governor Horatio masterminded by former Horatio Prime Senator Horatio. Horatio was reportedly heard raving that he knew Horatio’s finger prints were all over the plan to kill Horatio and signed an executive order authorizing Horatio to assassinate Horatio before Horatio could give Horatio the go ahead to have Horatio assassinate Horatio.
Got the game. In my first few runs I didn’t know how to diplomatically reject the extortion efforts of the Cravers and Vodyani, so I ended up getting really good at upgrading my military in order to politely rout their militaries back into their homeworlds… and then taking over their homeworlds. In my second formal run, I played as the Umbral Choir and dumped everything into developing my economy. Imagine playing a game where no matter how hard everyone tries to make the largest economy, they are ALWAYS number 2 behind a faction that no one seems to have come into contact with. I literally made a shadow economy that everyone was baffled by because no one knew who was running it… … But enough about the Merchant’s Guild. 10/10. Would corner the galactic economy again.
In my experience, it sounds like you played it right. It's not really "diplomacy" when they're shaking you down. The best way to deal with it is to make sure you can bomb them back to the Stone Age if they press the point - which they won't, if you're strong enough. I've never seen the Vodanyi AI opponent strong enough to pose a credible threat.
it's funny when you actually accept the Cravers' demands for dust, their attitude to you changes to "disgusted" and they respond "does your species have a spine"? after accepting your tribute.
It's mindblowing how his little shitpost channel evolved into a legit, high quality game review channel. He's now a powerhouse of indie gaming market, a burning sun chariot that can lift any game's sales up if the game has unique playable value to it. Powered by independent funds of the merchant guild, nay, the merchant nation. Israel itself. And the videos he produces deserves every penny comes in his way. God bless this man.
I think its because Seth is a very, very smart man who roleplays as idiot/shitposter (see one of his recent stream for an in-depth lecture on immunology for example). Other people make the mistake of thinking they are the same when actually they are idiots roleplaying as geniuses, which fails inevitably.
Imagine the academy spawn into a multiplayer game and instead of convincing them to compete each other for his favor, Isandyr just got shelled to dead by player made obliterator
As I recall, someone desperate for Anti-matter, since it tends to spawn on gas giants. Also Vodyani, on occasion, because of the atypical way they handle "colonizing". Of course, the game has changed a lot since I last played it, so who knows what it's like right now.
In reality, a gas giant has a crap ton of useful stuff. Supposedly there's a LOT of hydrocarbons in Jupiter's atmosphere, as a simple example, and those are damn handy even if you don't want to just burn them. Anybody with a decent manufacturing base for space travel is gonna have a field day mining gas giants. So Cloud City really wasn't too far off the mark after all.
Those without a sense of smell Ok but seriously Maybe a race used to low gravity. Or just a temporary means of mining resources. Imagine we can just park a ship in atmosphere and start absorbing gases, instead of building structures on the surface and start mining. Though we would probably need to do both
27:56 Now see I could understand adding that kind of system to the game, basically bribing Isyander to give your enrolled future leaders and top lieutenants preferential treatment and thus say level up faster or maybe get some sweet bonuses, that actually sounds neat. But who in the Fucking name of the Endless themselves thought it was a good idea to have the Academy be an aggressive, expansionist faction when the whole point of them is to be a (atleast on the surface) *'neutral' faction* that basically plays the other factions of each other through academic extortion and educational lobbying. Also it would've been great to expand the bribery system so that when it comes to influencing the Academy's choices of curriculum and who got the best education at a given time to not just be soley based on whoever gave the most *"Dust" (money)* but could also be based on whoever made any number of notable donations to the Academy via technology shared, luxury goods *'gifted',* good'ole political backdoor dealings, and etc. That way it wouldn't just be the Lumeris gaining the upper hand most of the time when it came to bribing Isyander through sheer raw currency, there can be multiple was of gaining his favor to allow other factions to get on the action.
I quest if how they programmed the Academy faction even lines up with who Isyander is supose to be as a character Making the academy a neutral faction is the better then having them be a annoying threat that's hyper aggressive and expansionist when that's not even how they're supose to act
Man, i have to check up on ES2 wiki to read about the sophons. Im curious if they were inspired by the sophons in the "Three Body Problem" book trilogy. Really great shit.
You don't walk on the gas giant. You just attach very resistant ropes to the uh... "unpaid and unskilled labour assistants" and toss em off the ship so they collect all the dust.
They probably just have suspended cities like cloud city in Star Wars. I think there was a project at one point to design a colonization ship of some sort for gas giant habitation. Found this on wikipedia. "...Landis has proposed aerostat habitats followed by floating cities, based on the concept that breathable air (21:79 oxygen/nitrogen mixture) is a lifting gas in the dense carbon dioxide atmosphere, with over 60% of the lifting power that helium has on Earth.[10] In effect, a balloon full of human-breathable air would sustain itself and extra weight (such as a colony) in midair. At an altitude of 50 kilometres (31 mi) above the Venerian surface, the environment is the most Earth-like in the Solar System - a pressure of approximately 1 atm or 1000 hPa and temperatures in the 0 to 50 °C (273 to 323 K; 32 to 122 °F) range. Protection against cosmic radiation would be provided by the atmosphere above, with shielding mass equivalent to Earth's." Mind you, gas giants and venus are pretty different, but with enough technology it'd probably be possible.
@@Guru_1092 Yes. They are pretty different. One of them has an average temperature of -145C and the atmospheric jet stream is faster than an actual turbojet airplane.
Sseth is legit actually extraordinarily intelligent, with a masters(?) in biology or something. He's way smarter than me, and probably most UA-camrs I watch.
Note: They fixed the academy. Released today was a patch that lets you push a button in the pregame settings that makes it so they don't expand. They also no longer aggressively attack players while at neutral relations.
You can tell Sseth really loves a game when his character breaks and he speaks with incredulity, enthusiasm, pure RAGE or a mixture of all these things. His power grows all the more.
I played a little of this recently and I might end up liking it more than Civilization. The sci fi theme and alien races are more entertaining and I really enjoy the diplomacy system.
Do you want to go to the store and get some rest and feel better soon and that is why I am asking for a friend to talk to you about it when I get home I will send you the link to the video of the company and the boys are one of the most important thing is that I have to go to the store and get some rest and feel better soon and that is why I am asking for a friend to talk to you about it when I get home I will send you a representative from the Foreman to be a representative of the company and the boys are doing well and that you are doing well
That colonizing gas giants question just got more hilarious since that one guy started complaining you couldn't land on Saturn in Starfield, and then doubled and tripled down on the complaint calling everyone who reminded him "You can't walk on a gas giant" of being nerds. I legit came back to rewatch this review just cause of that idiot.
Rewatching this video, realizing he was using "First Trumpet" as the music for explanation of what dust actually is, and now I wish seth did a review for Lobo Corp or Ruina- it'd be, phantasmal
MILKY MILKY WARM AND TASTY! MOMMY! MILKY! PLEASE BE HASTY! REFRESHING DRINK FROM MOMMY’S UDDERS! I WANT MOMMY’S AND NO OTHER’S! GIVE IT! GIVE IT! GIVE IT NOW! GIVE ME MILKY, LAZY SOW! UNTIL YOU DO I’LL SCREAM I’LL SHOUT! I’LL CRY I’LL WHINE AND STOMP ABOUT! UNTIL MY BELLY IS FULL AND HAPPY! I REFUSE TO TAKE A NAPPY!
*Endless Space 2 In a Nutshell* You: Yo, who just put a pirate mark on me? Friend 1: Idk wasn't me Friend 2: Not me Friend 3: Ain't me *War it is* AI: Yes, yes, fight stupid humans.
It's always entertaining when you play more indie games and occasionally recognize their OSTs in Sseth's videos much later upon rewatch, especially when Sseth hasn't made a video about them yet.
Bought the game after this review, played the tutorial, started a second game to learn some more, then finally played through my third match the whole way. Played it with my friend. I was the Unfallen and he was the Sophons. I used my influence to keep everyone at peace, while we both researched until we got an allied science victory. Fantastic use of seven hours
@@melynxforce8918 Oh I still don't understand how anyone could possibly run a functional military faction. I've played as a bunch of different factions, trying to go the military route, and never had any luck getting it off the ground
@@minibotas9496 Kill pirates and you earn favor with the Academy. Supporting the Academy can gain favor. Favor can be used to buy their systems, receive a faction specific buff, gain a fleet, and learn about enemy heroes.
@@minibotas9496 not that I've noticed. They mainly expand in empty territories and won't attack yours. You can turn their expansionism off in the options.
This game really makes me get into the mindset of an imperialist despot. When I started setting up buffer states and brainwashing my citizens into begging me to set up a military industrial complex the world I live in started to make a whole lot more sense.
As an Italian, this game completely encapsulates the Roman answer to the whole "An eye for an eye turns the whole world blind" which is that 1 you should never dish out an equal vengeance, alway retaliate 10 times harder and 2 preemptive attacks. They blockaded all our trade routes? Well, we need less ships in our military now, we are going to declare war, not now of course, we need 5 turns to park our armies right next to their major systems and then declare war when we are basically in orbit.
She totally saved my butt in my first non-tutorial game. I was getting invaded by the Imperials but I had enough gold to buy a planet off her and practically restart my civ where I could build my Obelisks in relative peace
Good news: they updated the Awakening DLC and it is actually fun to play now. Back then I just left it disabled all the time, but now that's no longer the case. It's definitely worth revisiting.
For anyone wondering now, the Academy and Isyander have been nerfed and there are options to control his influence on the game so you can play with Nakalim without Isyander. I do recommend playing with him but at a reduced level. The idea of the academy taking territory is idiotic from any point of view, but the recent patch is a nice compromise.
Imagine making intricate lore for your looter shooter,only to need the assistance of somebody with too much time on their hands,cramming as much of the entirety of said lore…into their tiny skull caverns. Why would you need a historian for your own lore…when you yourself wrote it all? (Yes I know that they have teams working on it but do you really need to hire a “historian” for this?)
In the dark, far, flung, future, there is only ballsack sucking, and nutsack economics. The world has devolved into a new dark age, where Doomguy has taken full control of the major countries of the world. Enforcing his totalitarian rules against Fanta nut, and strictly banning all physical copies of Ordovician Penis Fight 2000. The earth has been scorched, and degraded, cities lay in ruin, lives destroyed, all of this unimaginable pain and suffering, because nobody can get a nice nut going. But, out of the ruins of a destroyed world, out of the dirt and blood, a hero rises. A hero who will challenge Doomguy, and bring peace to everyone's balls. The earth stretched around for miles, completely barren, nothing but cracked and degraded soil. In the distant horizon, the sky loomed, grey and drab. Star Trek nut crack penis. A massive, collom of inky smoke twisted and curled upwards in the distance. Dr Nutsack crouched down, observing the cruel smoke from afar. He knew its presence could only mean one thing, Penis Bandits, and lots of them. Dr Nutsack sat down on the dry earth, and began to lay out his supplies. One Aegirocassis Prostate, his trusty hunting rifle, with one remaining magazine, which in turn, housed five rounds, and only two remaining essential oil bottles. He made a mental note to get another fix from the Anti-Vax Guild. A dangerous group to be sure, but few could get far out here without their fix of essential oils. Dr Nutsack sighed deeply, packed up his supplies, dusted himself off, and cracked his knuckles. He gazed into the unfriendly horizon, contemplating his next move. “Screw it.” He thought. He took out a vile of essential oil, turning it over in his hand for a moment. Suddenly he popped the top off, and drained the vile, dropping the vile after he was done. He smelled dat homie booty, easy acess penis nut sauce. The familiar feeling overcame him, his blood seemed to solidify, it felt to become thicker and warmer. Every neuron fired simultaneously in his head, but the only feeling he felt was the overwhelming sense of adrenaline pumping through his veins. His penis got a bit hard not going to lie, his balls were pretty fat but fresh doe, his nuts were not as large as Dwayne The Cock Johnson testie sucker 8000. Dr Nutsack ran toward the smoke, nae, he glided toward the dark horizon. The land melted around him, his feet barely touched the ground. Suddenly, The Penis Bandits popped up in front of his vision, he wasn’t going fast enough! Dr Nutsack knew he had to do something quickly. He whipped out his pinkie finger and stuck it in his booty hole, inducing a massive, titanic juicy fart. The fart ripped right through Dr Nutsacks pants, the noise of the fart was so loud it created a sonic boom that burst Dr Nutsacks eardrums and immediately ripped off all his nutsack hair. The fart left a huge brown vapor tale trailing behind Dr Nutsaks thick booty cheeks, and launching him thirty feet into the air, where he flew right over the Penis Bandits, like that one scene from the movie E.T, where the alien sucked a fat pee pee hole. He flew fifty feet straight over the Penis Bandits, his body flailing and turning uncontrollably. Dr Nutsack then flew straight, head first toward the ground. For a few seconds, comprehension entered Dr Nutsack's mind, this was the end. He closed his eyes, he was completely at peace with the world. Then he hit the ground with the force of a train driving off a one-thousand foot cliff, and freaking died. Gorilla nutsack pee pee fart hole jerry from ass and morty nutsack penis diper. Then a portal opened up, and Metroid walked out, scratching his nuts and looking around the barren landscape. “Wait, whats going on- where am I?” He said, as the Penis Bandits looked over, and shot him multiple times point blank with Spaz-14’s directly in his nutsack.

Nobody had seen Joe Penis in over a year, since Doomguy had established the local Penis police, who stopped everyone from getting a nice nut going. Many had lost hope all together, and believed Joe Penis to be dead. Joe Penis looked down upon the five Penis Bandits, and he noticed the bodies of dr Nutsack and Metroid. “No, no! This can’t be real, this can’t be happening! My lover metroid, and Dr Nutsack, my pee pee inspector! No! You animals! You killed them both!” Joe Penis began to shake with anger, his eyes glowed red, his titanic schlong casting a shadow over all of the Penis Bandits. He roundhouse kicked one of the Penis Bandits into the stratosphere. The other Penis bandits got scared and went pee pee poo poo in their pants. Then Penis Joe busted a gigantic fat nut and drowned them in it lmao. society h3h3 pee pee poo poo nutcrack, monster nut juice darth vader has a thick booty not going to lie :blushing emoji: :pee pee emoji: morgan freedom pupic hair finna smells like dorito nutsack lah mayo, ballsack jones came home to see his cat busting a fat nutsack on dat homie mog goo goo ga ga penis fartsack joe rogayanergeranadhemphargitegergorgan question mark
THE LORE: The Endless were scientists. There was a race called The Lost that had some form of reality-altering powers, and were made of starlight. The Endless said "we can't lab test this shit" and killed them all, harvested their bodies, and used their bodies to create Dust. The Virtual Endless were largely on board with all of this, and the Vodyani are their offspring. The remaining Endless that refused to evolve using Dust were horrified at what their people had done, and went to war to try and revive the Lost. They failed, and all of the other races have picked up where the Endless left off to take control of the galaxy. Nobody really remembers much of this except for the Vodyani. And then along comes Isyander, who discovers The Academy, an Endless ruin that goes into depth about the history of the Endless and the Lost. Isyander says, "Holy shit this was horrible, I can't believe my ancestors - the power of gods, you say. Iiiiinteresting." Isyander then promptly resumes genetic manipulation through Dust experimentation to create the Heroes, who are supposed to act as his agents in his grand scheme - to take control over the structures the Endless built to kill the Lost, transform them into devices that will collect Dust and bring the Lost back to life, and then have himself and his Heroes become Lost themselves through genetic Dust experimentation. Each of the races have some form of relationship with the previous Endless civilization, some of them very closely. They all have various ideals involving the revival of these godlike beings. The Vodyani, for example, view Isyander as a heretic who must be culled. The Lumeris hate this plan, because it uses up all the Dust. Horatio doesn't care, because no God is equal to Horatio. And then the Sophons said, "Let's lab test a deity", thus proving them to be smarter than the Endless. PRO FUCKING TIP: If you completely take over every Academy system, but then side with Isyander when you need to decide which path to take, Isyander will never attack you again for the rest of the game. You can EASILY abuse Isyander's bullshit by letting him dump *massive* amounts of resources into building up heavily industrialized planets that have literally no fucking defensive structures and just sweeping through them with a few small fleets. Once you take control of the Academy, place your best fleet on the system to defend it, and watch as Isyander fails over and over again to take it back, never trying to take back any of his other systems - which he built for you, for free! Hurray! And then after you side with him, you get to keep what you had claimed. Fun! Also: put an anti-shield laser on each vessel, and you will turn Isyander's ships into fucking pathetic wastes of space. Happy hunting~ POST SCRIPT IN EDIT: I deliberately cut some shit out, like the Endless class wars and their freak genetic experimentation that they performed on a galactic scale, to save on reading time and space. Some other folks in the comments brought up some of the additional tidbits, but there's even greater amounts of bullshit that almost every faction discovers through their questlines (as well as more universal quests). The point is, this game has some deeep lore, and like all of the best games with deep lore, it makes you go fucking find it your damn self.
Weren’t the concrete endless less horrified, more too poor to upgrade themselves and jealous and/or super religious and found uploading itself immoral? They committed plenty of war crimes and horrific experiments too iirc. That is covered more in endless legends tho iirc.
How's it feel to know the devs are working on a massive update to re-work Awakening's mechanics, probably in no small part because of this very video and its popularity?
updates pretty fire, with the academy knowing their damn place and not expanding and the reworked weapons being more balanced. The only issue is that it consistently fails to load the turn where you choose whether to side with or against isandyr in his last quest section. usually around turn 65-75 on fast speed, so you gotta hit victory before then. Fingers crossed thats fixed when it leaves the beta.
Of course the dlc made in Argentina adds the equivalent of a "gibs me dat or I break your shit" faction; it's essentially 90% of the country's politics after all.
After playing the shit out of this game I'm still surprised at how in depth the review is while still having the touch of Sseth comedy. You can tell the man loves this game. Also don't forget the faction music for the empire. That shit makes me feel patriotic while I commit warcrimes.
@@rezandrarizkyirianto-1933 I like it a lot better. One because it doesn't run like shit. Stellaris has terrible optimization and it really shows because it's all real time. I have never finished a game to date because of it. And two it doesn't punish you for going wide. In stellaris you take a percentage hit to research for every planet system you control so Tall empires with less systems that stack their planets will out tech the fuck out of you. There is a cap in Endless of planets you control..... until you can install an "Autonomous Administration". (By research and upgrading your City level with rare resources. All of these are random generated per map) and you can go over the colony limit for a small (but ever increasing penalty) too. Getting a level 4 city is an investment. Bird Bois have a different mechanic and can ignore colony limitations. Obliterator behemoths are just great don't listen to reddit they're retarded. You can protect systems from them with shields (Reduces damage) or spec a behemoth into a citadel to nullify it on a very important system. Give it a try. I Guarantee you won't be disappointed if 4x is your kind of game. Plus have you seen that Emperor Zelevas coat? It's fucking amazing. And fish tits. A fish with tits. Tiddy fish.
@@XzMondayNightzX You should really take a look a Stellaris again,, they made major performance updates, and completely overhauled how territory works, the system you describe dosnt even exist in the game any more. Not saying you would like it but it has definitely changed leaps and bounds for the better.
Full disclosure, this review convinced me to buy Endless Space 2, and yes, I did it with the intention of allying myself to Fish Mommy in every game. However, in my wildest imagination, I had never imagined that Sseth WASN'T making up stuff, when he described the background of Horatio...
Horatio is fucking wild, and one of my all-time favorite fantasy races. Especially how "pure" you are as a Horatio depends on how close your upbringing was to the original... who was a backstabbing psychopathic narcissist. So... yeah... the entire civilization is fucking bonkers with a long succession of new Horatio clones assassinating and replacing the current "Prime" Horatio without anyone knowing. The original Horatio was an extreme narcisist that sought to create prefect copies of himself in both mind and body, but a perfect clone is too intelligent, amoral, and ambitious to ever accept being an underling... so each time the Prime Horatio creates a set of perfect copies with the same upbringing and psychological profile of the original... chaos ensues. The clones fight until only the strongest remains, who then secretly usurps and replaces the current Prime Horatio. Each time this happens, the usurper believes they have taken out the true, original, progenitor Horatio. Within their endless narcissism, they even convinces themselves that they were the TRUE Horatio all along. And then the new Prime Horatio is driven by the same narcissistic urge to create another crop of perfect copies just like himself... but this time, with his endless arrogance, he thinks he can control the next crop of perfect clones. And thus, the cycle of backstabbing insanity continues. All while the greater Horatio civilization still thinks they are being lead by the true original... despite their current leader likely being 10+ copies away from him. The developers even made a free standalone visual novel: "Love Thyself - A Horatio Story." It's also on Steam. Horatio is just so fucking bonkers in the best possible way.
@@zzodysseuszz Huh? It was one referential joke that wasn't even derogatory. That's not remotely the same as claiming all the above insanity is representative of Trump. Hell, Horatio is a returning faction from the first game that game out in 2012: before Trump's political rise. So it's not like they created an entire parody faction to mock Trump.
@@Dan-gs3kg Every day I'm reminded of Reimu fans existing makes me wish to be isekai'd straight to hell. But then it's remedied by the fact that there are some guro touhou fans out there. Balanced, as all things should be.
Me: "I don't know, large scale civilization sims aren't my strongest suit for extensive gameplay time..." Sseth: "Big tiddy fish-mommy" Me: "Say no more, it's in the shopping cart."
4:28 To be honest that falls very accurately in line with the actual universe. Millions and billions and trillions of planets, 99% of which are uninhabitable garbage.
"the story is told to you through Wiki articles the accuracy of which is questionable because I've edited several articles and they still haven't caught me" okay, carry on then
10:10 I kneel Sseth-sama, that joke was somehow yet another good prediction(he didn't even get cancer, just a melanoma around his mole at one of his feet).
@Mialisus ya i can't believe people still give him any money. Wont hire any extra help and release like what a text update every couple of months. I just pirated the latest version and called it good
So I'd never heard of this game before, but got pretty interested after seeing this review. The recent sale seemed like a good excuse to check it out. Now I'm deep in One More Turn hell. I was almost late for work today because I accidentally played until 7 AM. Send help.

Awakening is actually pretty good if you get one of the workshop mods that prevents Isyander from expanding.

He's now a powerhouse of indie gaming market, a burning sun chariot that can lift any game's sales up if the game has unique playable value to it. Powered by independent funds of the merchant guild, nay, the merchant nation. Israel itself. And the videos he produces deserves every penny comes in his way.

I think its because Seth is a very, very smart man who roleplays as idiot/shitposter (see one of his recent stream for an in-depth lecture on immunology for example). Other people make the mistake of thinking they are the same when actually they are idiots roleplaying as geniuses, which fails inevitably.

Lando Calrissian: “Everything you’ve heard about me is true.”
Winning smile baby.
As I recall, someone desperate for Anti-matter, since it tends to spawn on gas giants. Also Vodyani, on occasion, because of the atypical way they handle "colonizing".
Of course, the game has changed a lot since I last played it, so who knows what it's like right now.
In reality, a gas giant has a crap ton of useful stuff. Supposedly there's a LOT of hydrocarbons in Jupiter's atmosphere, as a simple example, and those are damn handy even if you don't want to just burn them. Anybody with a decent manufacturing base for space travel is gonna have a field day mining gas giants. So Cloud City really wasn't too far off the mark after all.
Those without a sense of smell
Ok but seriously
Maybe a race used to low gravity.
Or just a temporary means of mining resources. Imagine we can just park a ship in atmosphere and start absorbing gases, instead of building structures on the surface and start mining. Though we would probably need to do both

27:56 Now see I could understand adding that kind of system to the game, basically bribing Isyander to give your enrolled future leaders and top lieutenants preferential treatment and thus say level up faster or maybe get some sweet bonuses, that actually sounds neat. But who in the Fucking name of the Endless themselves thought it was a good idea to have the Academy be an aggressive, expansionist faction when the whole point of them is to be a (atleast on the surface) *'neutral' faction* that basically plays the other factions of each other through academic extortion and educational lobbying.
Also it would've been great to expand the bribery system so that when it comes to influencing the Academy's choices of curriculum and who got the best education at a given time to not just be soley based on whoever gave the most *"Dust" (money)* but could also be based on whoever made any number of notable donations to the Academy via technology shared, luxury goods *'gifted',* good'ole political backdoor dealings, and etc. That way it wouldn't just be the Lumeris gaining the upper hand most of the time when it came to bribing Isyander through sheer raw currency, there can be multiple was of gaining his favor to allow other factions to get on the action.
Imagine a bunch of cravers killing pirates for the academy. I certainly could see it.
@@stagdragon3978 That would make things interesting.

Man, i have to check up on ES2 wiki to read about the sophons. Im curious if they were inspired by the sophons in the "Three Body Problem" book trilogy. Really great shit.
- How are you supposed to walk on a gas giant?
- Very carefully.
You don't walk on the gas giant. You just attach very resistant ropes to the uh... "unpaid and unskilled labour assistants" and toss em off the ship so they collect all the dust.
They probably just have suspended cities like cloud city in Star Wars. I think there was a project at one point to design a colonization ship of some sort for gas giant habitation.
Found this on wikipedia. "...Landis has proposed aerostat habitats followed by floating cities, based on the concept that breathable air (21:79 oxygen/nitrogen mixture) is a lifting gas in the dense carbon dioxide atmosphere, with over 60% of the lifting power that helium has on Earth.[10] In effect, a balloon full of human-breathable air would sustain itself and extra weight (such as a colony) in midair. At an altitude of 50 kilometres (31 mi) above the Venerian surface, the environment is the most Earth-like in the Solar System - a pressure of approximately 1 atm or 1000 hPa and temperatures in the 0 to 50 °C (273 to 323 K; 32 to 122 °F) range. Protection against cosmic radiation would be provided by the atmosphere above, with shielding mass equivalent to Earth's."
Mind you, gas giants and venus are pretty different, but with enough technology it'd probably be possible.
@@Guru_1092 Yes. They are pretty different. One of them has an average temperature of -145C and the atmospheric jet stream is faster than an actual turbojet airplane.

In the dark, far, flung, future, there is only ballsack sucking, and nutsack economics. The world has devolved into a new dark age, where Doomguy has taken full control of the major countries of the world. Enforcing his totalitarian rules against Fanta nut, and strictly banning all physical copies of Ordovician Penis Fight 2000. The earth has been scorched, and degraded, cities lay in ruin, lives destroyed, all of this unimaginable pain and suffering, because nobody can get a nice nut going. But, out of the ruins of a destroyed world, out of the dirt and blood, a hero rises. A hero who will challenge Doomguy, and bring peace to everyone's balls.
The earth stretched around for miles, completely barren, nothing but cracked and degraded soil. In the distant horizon, the sky loomed, grey and drab. Star Trek nut crack penis. A massive, collom of inky smoke twisted and curled upwards in the distance. Dr Nutsack crouched down, observing the cruel smoke from afar. He knew its presence could only mean one thing, Penis Bandits, and lots of them.
Dr Nutsack sat down on the dry earth, and began to lay out his supplies. One Aegirocassis Prostate, his trusty hunting rifle, with one remaining magazine, which in turn, housed five rounds, and only two remaining essential oil bottles. He made a mental note to get another fix from the Anti-Vax Guild. A dangerous group to be sure, but few could get far out here without their fix of essential oils.
Dr Nutsack sighed deeply, packed up his supplies, dusted himself off, and cracked his knuckles. He gazed into the unfriendly horizon, contemplating his next move.
“Screw it.” He thought. He took out a vile of essential oil, turning it over in his hand for a moment. Suddenly he popped the top off, and drained the vile, dropping the vile after he was done. He smelled dat homie booty, easy acess penis nut sauce.
The familiar feeling overcame him, his blood seemed to solidify, it felt to become thicker and warmer. Every neuron fired simultaneously in his head, but the only feeling he felt was the overwhelming sense of adrenaline pumping through his veins. His penis got a bit hard not going to lie, his balls were pretty fat but fresh doe, his nuts were not as large as Dwayne The Cock Johnson testie sucker 8000.
Dr Nutsack ran toward the smoke, nae, he glided toward the dark horizon. The land melted around him, his feet barely touched the ground. Suddenly, The Penis Bandits popped up in front of his vision, he wasn’t going fast enough! Dr Nutsack knew he had to do something quickly. He whipped out his pinkie finger and stuck it in his booty hole, inducing a massive, titanic juicy fart. The fart ripped right through Dr Nutsacks pants, the noise of the fart was so loud it created a sonic boom that burst Dr Nutsacks eardrums and immediately ripped off all his nutsack hair. The fart left a huge brown vapor tale trailing behind Dr Nutsaks thick booty cheeks, and launching him thirty feet into the air, where he flew right over the Penis Bandits, like that one scene from the movie E.T, where the alien sucked a fat pee pee hole.
He flew fifty feet straight over the Penis Bandits, his body flailing and turning uncontrollably. Dr Nutsack then flew straight, head first toward the ground. For a few seconds, comprehension entered Dr Nutsack's mind, this was the end. He closed his eyes, he was completely at peace with the world. Then he hit the ground with the force of a train driving off a one-thousand foot cliff, and freaking died. Gorilla nutsack pee pee fart hole jerry from ass and morty nutsack penis diper.
Then a portal opened up, and Metroid walked out, scratching his nuts and looking around the barren landscape.
“Wait, whats going on- where am I?” He said, as the Penis Bandits looked over, and shot him multiple times point blank with Spaz-14’s directly in his nutsack. Metroid started poo poo fart ppee pee nut jake the fart dog from star nutsack return of obama’s prostate blue whale testie how to ask google if i need a nutsack fart doo doo pee pee holw gay butt iron man loves iran police fortunate cookies wee wee wong le gong fong fart sharut nut cole is that awlter supported vote nutsack joe from obama testicle gong diper penis from gravity fall s not ttoo be confused with cgravity grey nutsack i love cum te lmao lmao not going lie homie niggil that pretty gay not doe to go penis penis
Suddenly a second portal opened up, and out walked the looming, massive, 60 foot tall figure of Joe Penis, naked and fully erect. Nobody had seen Joe Penis in over a year, since Doomguy had established the local Penis police, who stopped everyone from getting a nice nut going. Many had lost hope all together, and believed Joe Penis to be dead.
Joe Penis looked down upon the five Penis Bandits, and he noticed the bodies of dr Nutsack and Metroid.
“No, no! This can’t be real, this can’t be happening! My lover metroid, and Dr Nutsack, my pee pee inspector! No! You animals! You killed them both!”
Joe Penis began to shake with anger, his eyes glowed red, his titanic schlong casting a shadow over all of the Penis Bandits. He roundhouse kicked one of the Penis Bandits into the stratosphere. The other Penis bandits got scared and went pee pee poo poo in their pants. Then Penis Joe busted a gigantic fat nut and drowned them in it lmao. society h3h3 pee pee poo poo nutcrack, monster nut juice darth vader has a thick booty not going to lie :blushing emoji: :pee pee emoji: morgan freedom pupic hair finna smells like dorito nutsack lah mayo, ballsack jones came home to see his cat busting a fat nutsack on dat homie mog goo goo ga ga penis fartsack joe rogayanergeranadhemphargitegergorgan question mark
THE LORE:
The Endless were scientists. There was a race called The Lost that had some form of reality-altering powers, and were made of starlight. The Endless said "we can't lab test this shit" and killed them all, harvested their bodies, and used their bodies to create Dust. The Virtual Endless were largely on board with all of this, and the Vodyani are their offspring. The remaining Endless that refused to evolve using Dust were horrified at what their people had done, and went to war to try and revive the Lost. They failed, and all of the other races have picked up where the Endless left off to take control of the galaxy. Nobody really remembers much of this except for the Vodyani.
And then along comes Isyander, who discovers The Academy, an Endless ruin that goes into depth about the history of the Endless and the Lost. Isyander says, "Holy shit this was horrible, I can't believe my ancestors - the power of gods, you say. Iiiiinteresting." Isyander then promptly resumes genetic manipulation through Dust experimentation to create the Heroes, who are supposed to act as his agents in his grand scheme - to take control over the structures the Endless built to kill the Lost, transform them into devices that will collect Dust and bring the Lost back to life, and then have himself and his Heroes become Lost themselves through genetic Dust experimentation.
Each of the races have some form of relationship with the previous Endless civilization, some of them very closely. They all have various ideals involving the revival of these godlike beings. The Vodyani, for example, view Isyander as a heretic who must be culled. The Lumeris hate this plan, because it uses up all the Dust. Horatio doesn't care, because no God is equal to Horatio.
And then the Sophons said, "Let's lab test a deity", thus proving them to be smarter than the Endless.
PRO FUCKING TIP:
If you completely take over every Academy system, but then side with Isyander when you need to decide which path to take, Isyander will never attack you again for the rest of the game. You can EASILY abuse Isyander's bullshit by letting him dump *massive* amounts of resources into building up heavily industrialized planets that have literally no fucking defensive structures and just sweeping through them with a few small fleets. Once you take control of the Academy, place your best fleet on the system to defend it, and watch as Isyander fails over and over again to take it back, never trying to take back any of his other systems - which he built for you, for free! Hurray! And then after you side with him, you get to keep what you had claimed. Fun! Also: put an anti-shield laser on each vessel, and you will turn Isyander's ships into fucking pathetic wastes of space. Happy hunting~
POST SCRIPT IN EDIT:
I deliberately cut some shit out, like the Endless class wars and their freak genetic experimentation that they performed on a galactic scale, to save on reading time and space. Some other folks in the comments brought up some of the additional tidbits, but there's even greater amounts of bullshit that almost every faction discovers through their questlines (as well as more universal quests). The point is, this game has some deeep lore, and like all of the best games with deep lore, it makes you go fucking find it your damn self.
im really trash playing ES2 but i really love the lore, thx for the TL:DR
I'm ngl I was expecting a shittymorph, nice guide thanks
Weren’t the concrete endless less horrified, more too poor to upgrade themselves and jealous and/or super religious and found uploading itself immoral? They committed plenty of war crimes and horrific experiments too iirc. That is covered more in endless legends tho iirc.
Are you seriously getting paid an $180 an hour for this? I'm looking to switch careers.
@@Theonixco well yeah, some people do.
How's it feel to know the devs are working on a massive update to re-work Awakening's mechanics, probably in no small part because of this very video and its popularity?
They saw Milei's stance on the age of consent and are removing all Argentinian influence as fast as they can lel
updates pretty fire, with the academy knowing their damn place and not expanding and the reworked weapons being more balanced. The only issue is that it consistently fails to load the turn where you choose whether to side with or against isandyr in his last quest section. usually around turn 65-75 on fast speed, so you gotta hit victory before then. Fingers crossed thats fixed when it leaves the beta.
Of course the dlc made in Argentina adds the equivalent of a "gibs me dat or I break your shit" faction; it's essentially 90% of the country's politics after all.
And the reason why they didn’t get the Falkland Islands was because of this and Margaret Thatcher
space england doesnt ask for its islands back. it liberates them
As an Argentinian I can confirm that the academy is basically space peronism.
@@espio87 More like 90's Peronism or actual Peronism xD
@@Mr_kyll Peronism has always been a cult of personality with authoritarian methods
After playing the shit out of this game I'm still surprised at how in depth the review is while still having the touch of Sseth comedy. You can tell the man loves this game.
Also don't forget the faction music for the empire. That shit makes me feel patriotic while I commit warcrimes.

How is it compared to Stellaris?
@@rezandrarizkyirianto-1933 I like it a lot better. One because it doesn't run like shit. Stellaris has terrible optimization and it really shows because it's all real time. I have never finished a game to date because of it. And two it doesn't punish you for going wide. In stellaris you take a percentage hit to research for every planet system you control so Tall empires with less systems that stack their planets will out tech the fuck out of you. There is a cap in Endless of planets you control..... until you can install an "Autonomous Administration". (By research and upgrading your City level with rare resources. All of these are random generated per map) and you can go over the colony limit for a small (but ever increasing penalty) too. Getting a level 4 city is an investment. Bird Bois have a different mechanic and can ignore colony limitations. Obliterator behemoths are just great don't listen to reddit they're retarded. You can protect systems from them with shields (Reduces damage) or spec a behemoth into a citadel to nullify it on a very important system. Give it a try. I Guarantee you won't be disappointed if 4x is your kind of game.
Plus have you seen that Emperor Zelevas coat? It's fucking amazing. And fish tits. A fish with tits. Tiddy fish.
@@XzMondayNightzX You should really take a look a Stellaris again,, they made major performance updates, and completely overhauled how territory works, the system you describe dosnt even exist in the game any more. Not saying you would like it but it has definitely changed leaps and bounds for the better.
@@rezandrarizkyirianto-1933 stellaris is too generic.
Endless better
Star Trek cracking out the 'despite making up' meme in the 90s. A level of perfection even Horatio would envy
Despite isn't really a meme, just a racist dog whistle.
@@rafaelcortat6883 there's a difference?

3:01 Yagoo's plan compressed into a sentence.
Full disclosure, this review convinced me to buy Endless Space 2, and yes, I did it with the intention of allying myself to Fish Mommy in every game.
However, in my wildest imagination, I had never imagined that Sseth WASN'T making up stuff, when he described the background of Horatio...
Horatio is fucking wild, and one of my all-time favorite fantasy races. Especially how "pure" you are as a Horatio depends on how close your upbringing was to the original... who was a backstabbing psychopathic narcissist. So... yeah... the entire civilization is fucking bonkers with a long succession of new Horatio clones assassinating and replacing the current "Prime" Horatio without anyone knowing.
The original Horatio was an extreme narcisist that sought to create prefect copies of himself in both mind and body, but a perfect clone is too intelligent, amoral, and ambitious to ever accept being an underling... so each time the Prime Horatio creates a set of perfect copies with the same upbringing and psychological profile of the original... chaos ensues. The clones fight until only the strongest remains, who then secretly usurps and replaces the current Prime Horatio.
Each time this happens, the usurper believes they have taken out the true, original, progenitor Horatio. Within their endless narcissism, they even convinces themselves that they were the TRUE Horatio all along. And then the new Prime Horatio is driven by the same narcissistic urge to create another crop of perfect copies just like himself... but this time, with his endless arrogance, he thinks he can control the next crop of perfect clones. And thus, the cycle of backstabbing insanity continues.
All while the greater Horatio civilization still thinks they are being lead by the true original... despite their current leader likely being 10+ copies away from him.
The developers even made a free standalone visual novel: "Love Thyself - A Horatio Story." It's also on Steam. Horatio is just so fucking bonkers in the best possible way.
Manic narcisistic ever-cloning space emperor
you can't call someone ugly if they're now the only face of the entire race
@@duncanlutz3698to think this is the devs interpretation of trump makes me question their politics
@@zzodysseuszz Huh? It was one referential joke that wasn't even derogatory. That's not remotely the same as claiming all the above insanity is representative of Trump.
Hell, Horatio is a returning faction from the first game that game out in 2012: before Trump's political rise. So it's not like they created an entire parody faction to mock Trump.

"And I don't care, because big tiddy fish mommy is going to buy the galaxy. And I'm going to help her." I see Sseth is a man of culture.
He is staying true to his roots.

The Chad of UA-cam strikes again, causing a review page to be filled with "hey hey people"
I think the fact the games get attention is cool but I wish people could come up with something more interesting than just repeating Sseth's tagline.
10:10 I kneel Sseth-sama, that joke was somehow yet another good prediction(he didn't even get cancer, just a melanoma around his mole at one of his feet).
"Between death and inconvenience, I choose oblivion."

When are you gonna review xenonaughts
I want the OG Xcom reviewed personally.
feels like a mandalore game
@@minoxiothethird I'd take a Sseth or Manadalore game for Xenonaughts or the OG Xcom
Hi dad
Yes Pease, by looks of it we aren't going to get Xenonauts 2 until next year
Your almost two year old review of this game made me buy most of the DLCs, already had the game. Cheers!
"Big tiddy fish mommy?"
*Looks over to Undyne, Ariel, Mako, and every other scaly waifu.*
"You've been replaced, get out."

@Mialisus ya i can't believe people still give him any money. Wont hire any extra help and release like what a text update every couple of months. I just pirated the latest version and called it good
@Mialisus does MG project actually have a team or is it just one guy cause if its the latter im gonna keep away from it
So I'd never heard of this game before, but got pretty interested after seeing this review. The recent sale seemed like a good excuse to check it out.
Now I'm deep in One More Turn hell. I was almost late for work today because I accidentally played until 7 AM.
Send help.
yeah i just burnt like 10 hours on it today. and i still have no idea how to play
been playing for months and still have yet to fully understand how to play every race
There was a sale and i bought it, end up my saturday night in a blink of an eye, started at 10 pm than bang! suddenly already 6 am..
Horatio feels your pain. How can you avoid basking in the presence of... perfection.
Any updates? Are you still staying up late playing the game?
Here's to hoping Sseth commissions some...'enlightened images' of Fish Mommy
I was half-expecting him to end the video with that.
Alas, not this time.
@@Gonglor Keep your fingers crossed, you never know what might be in the works.
